Hey Guys! Lol, I'm still alive xD
Just wanted to say that I am so thankful that you guys are still reviewing and are still reading this story.
Here it is..
Hope you all like it! :D
"Hermione! Come downstairs please."
"Yes mum?" Hermione asked, coming down the stairs. "Oh, Hello ."
"Hello Hermione. How are you?" she smiled, "How's school? Its your vacation, I take it?"
"Yes it is. And I'm pretty good. How about you and the family? The twins? They must be big already." She asked with a smile then sat on the love seat beside her mother.
"That's what we wanted to talk to you about dear." Said Monica.
"My husband and I have a school reunion tomorrow. But our babysitter won't be able to make it tomorrow to babysit the twins."
"And your father and I are going to a convention tomorrow. So we can't babysit them as well."
Hermione nodded, "its alright. I'd love to babysit them. It's been so long since I've seen them!" she gushed.
Daniella smiled, "Yes they have.. They've been wanting you to baby sit them again, but I told them that you were at school."
"Well, I've missed them too. What time will you bring them over?"
"Probably around 6:30? If that is alright with you..We'll let them have dinner first then Robert and I will drop them over."
Hermione nodded, "That's fine. I can't wait to see them!"
"Hermione..We've got a letter from- Oh, I'm sorry.. I'll just.."
"It's fine dear. " said Monica, "Daniella, this is Draco. He's Hermione's friend. He's staying with us until him and Hermione go back to school."
"Hello ma'am." Draco said extending his arm to Daniella. "I'm Draco Malfoy."
She shook his hand and smiled, "Hello Draco.. So you are Hermione's friend from school, huh?"
He nodded. "How many boyfriends has she had?"
"Mrs. Trentons!" Hermione exclaimed, her face turning red.
"So who is the letter from?" Hermione asked as she sat on the middle of Draco's bed, her legs crossed.
"I think it was from Dumbledore..The owl sort of swooped in and set the letter on my lap before I could actually get a good look of it."
Hermione looked at the back and saw the Hogwarts seal. She gently tore it open and unfolded the paper and read
Dear Ms. Granger and or Mr. Malfoy,
We got your Patronus and we are sorry for the late reply. We wanted to investigate as fast as possible. Mr. Malfoy, I am sorry, but right now, from what we have…your mother is held hostage in her room. There have been signs that she has been tortured but not to a great extent. There are two aurors of ours that had entered the Manor and have seen some of what they have been doing.. To our dismay, we aren't allowed to tell the both of you the information just yet. Professor Snape had deliberately said so. We do hope that the two of you are doing well.
-Professor Dumbledore.
Hermione looked at Draco who seemed as if he were going to blow up any minute. "Draco…"
"Just leave it Hermione.." He replied with his head down, he was shaking from anger.
"No.. I won't. Draco, please calm down." She put a hand on his shoulder.
He looked at her and replied, "Hermione, they tortured my mother! She is held bloody hostage!"
"Just calm down.. Please.." she said softly, " Please.. Just..Just calm down."
She looked at him and waited. He looked at her again and nodded. Hermione smiled at him, "Oh yeah.. What were you thinking of when we did those Partonuses?"
Draco glared at her, "Shut up, Granger."
"Oh come on.." she teased, "What was it?"
"I'm not telling you..By the way, who was that lady that I just met a couple minutes ago?"
"That was Mrs. Trentons. She and her husband are going to this reunion thing and their babysitter can't make it to babysit their twins. So she asked me. Mum and dad are going to a convention tomorrow so I'll be the one babysitting them."
"Hermione! Draco! Come downstairs!" Wendell called.
"Yes?" Hermione asked.
'Your mother and I are leaving okay? Take care.. And don't do anything reckless. We're begging you."
"Dad, you have given me that speech for how many times. I know.." she turned to her mum, "And mum, I know where all the numbers are. If not, then I will look in the phone book."
"Good girl." Wendell said and kissed her forehead, "We'll see you two tomorrow morning. Alright?"
"Yes sir."
That evening….
Knock knock!
"I'll get it!" Hermione called from the lounge room. She got up from the couch and walked towards the door. She looked through the peep hole and saw the Trentons, she opened the door and greeted them all with a smile, "Hello!"
"Hermione! You have grown up!" said Mr. Trenton.
Hermione smiled, "Hi Mr. Trentons." She looked down and saw the two little ones she had been waiting to see. She kneeled down, "Hello you two. Do you still remember me?"
"Hermione!" The two exclaimed hugging her.
"Andrew and I have missed you so much!"
"Yeah! Charlotte and I missed you!"
Hermione laughed, "I've missed the both of you, too!" She stood up and took each of their hands and brought them in, "Mr. and Mrs. Trentons' won't you two come in.."
They all made their way into the lounge room and took a seat. "Draco!" Hermione called, Come down!"
"We have given them their dinner half an hour ago, so they are good." Said Daniella.
Once Draco got downstairs he smiled and greeted Mrs. Trentons again, "Hello Mrs. Trentons." He looked at Mr. Trentons and just like what he did with Mrs. Trentons, extended his hand. "Hello Sir."
"Hello. You must be Draco." He smiled shaking the teens hand.
"Yes sir."
"Good to meet you. Mrs. Trentons told me about you.." He bent down and whispered something into Draco's ear, "Treat Hermione good. Okay?"
Draco looked at him curiously, "But we aren't-"
"I have a feeling you two will. Trust me."
"I-uhh.."
"Well, we've got to go. Hermione, we're not sure what time we'll be back to pick them up, but for sure it will be no later than 11."
"Alright.. Have a good time you two!" Hermione said while she escorted them out the door.
She made her way back to the lounge room to see the twins sitting next to Draco and asking him questions. They were both five years old, they both had hazel eyes and dark blonde hair. From the time Hermione had baby sat them, the two were such bubbly children.
"Draco, this is Charlotte.. and this is Andrew." Hermione smiled pointing to the said child, "and kids.. This is Draco. He's my friend."
"Hello Draco!" the twins exclaimed.
"Hello.."
"So, what do you two want to do?"
"Can we watch a movie Hermione?"
"Yeah! Can we?"
She giggled, "Sure.. What movie do you two want to watch?"
"What about Pochahontas?" asked Charlotte.
"Ew." Andrew said scrunching up his nose, "I don't want that. What about Nemo!"
"I don't want that!"
Hermione shook her head at the two, "What about The Lion King part two?"
"Ohh! Yes!"
"Can me and Charlotte watch that Hermione? Can we?"
"Yes Andrew." Hermione laughed, You two just sit wherever you want and I will put the video on and Draco and I will get us some popcorn.. Sound good?"
"Yes!"
OOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOOoOO
The movie had ended and the twins were rather sleepy. The four of them all went up to Hermione's room.
"Dracooo, can you sing us a song?" asked Charlotte.
"What?"
"Sissy asked if you can sing us a song..We are sleepy."
"Umm.." He looked at Hermione.
"Hold on you two, let me go get Draco's guitar. He'll sing you two to sleep. Alright?"
They nodded and looked at Draco.
"Draco. Are you and Hermione best friends?"
"Um, no Charlotte, we are just friends. Not best friends."
"But friends can be best friends, right?"
"well-"
"Here it is.." Hermione announced then gave the guitar to Draco. She tucked the twin in and sat on the bottom of the bed. Draco sat beside them on Hermione's swinging chair.
Somethin' bout the way
Somethin' bout the way you look in my eyes
You make everything so damn easy
So easy that I don't got to worry about a thing
And baby when we touch
All I can see is the image of us
Sittin' by the ocean, just before the dusk
Sippin' on a juicebox, with sand between our toes
And this is the part when we say we're in love
And the part where we have our first kiss
But this ain't a movie, I know you can't come with me
You got your life, he better be treatin' you right
Just tell me you don't love me
Tell me you don't feel the same way that I do
Tell me I don't make you smile like I do when you walk in the room
You're so... so hard to let go... Oh...
And this is the part when we say we're in love
And the part where we say it's forever
But this ain't a fantasy, I know you can't come with me
You got your life, he better be treatin' you right
This hurts so much
To know that you're with someone else when you should be with me
It's just hard to accept that I can't be around
He better be treatin' you good
I'm no Einstein but I know a sign when I see one
And I know you love me too
And I know you love me too...
And this is the part when we say we're in love
And the part where we have our first kiss
But this ain't a movie, I know you can't come with me
You got your life, he better be treatin' you good... so good...
You got your life, he better be treatin' you...
Treatin' you... treatin' you right...
When the twins had fallen asleep, Draco and Hermione went back downstairs to the lounge room and had some butterbeer. They sat down on the couch and stayed silent. Herminoe cleared her throat and sighed, "Draco.. I've been thinking.. Well, wondering actually. You never really told me why you came here..and why these things have been happening and all."
Draco sighed and put his mug down, "It's rather complicated.."
"Look, if it's personal and you don't want to tell me.. It's fine..I understand."
Draco had been thinking about it too. No one other than Snape knew his real reason for not taking the Dark Mark.. Hermione had been very nice to him and he thought that he could owe it to her to tell her his whole reason. Being with Hermione right now, he could feel that he could trust her with anything.
Dun dun dun!
Lol, yupp. I stopped it there.
What did you all think? I know it's been a few months since I updated and my writing is a bit crappy. But I want to know what you all think!
Tell mee!
Oh! And there is one thing. There are two special names that I used in this chapter.. The first person who tells me or like puts it in a review telling me why those names are special, will get a sneak peek of the next chapter!
And if you don't get that one, there is one more.. If you get the name of the song that I used you will also get a sneak peek of the next chapter.
May the odds be in your favor! xDD
Goodluck! oh and make sure you are signed in so I can send it to you!
